8. Lead delivery of infrastructure initiatives end-to-end (scope, plan, RAID, dependencies, governance), coordinating engineers/ops/vendors/stakeholders and providing exec-ready status updates.

To be successful in this role (8 points)

1. Strong hands-on infrastructure experience, operating in complex, multi-team environments.
2. Expert Linux administration and troubleshooting: performance tuning, patching, hardening, scripting and incident management.

6. Strong monitoring/observability skills, including converting alerts into diagnosis, prioritisation, and sustainable fixes.
